Ok once again noting will build .... a BUG?

[Scratch]

I have plenty of supplys... I started a new game.... built some refineries... an assembler..
now i want to build a farm.... ( nothing happens..) then i try to build a trading dock... and I have a tree cutter working.. and i turned off the refinery and coal maker so no output for the wood.... and still nothing...

AND i have one truck full of wood.... so.....

..... what buildings require wood to build?
As far as I've seen all of them require construction materials and MAYBE some mechanical parts and/or electronics?

[Scratch]

Nope.. the trading dock requires wood to build.. and nothing is building

[Overeagerdragon]

ah right; forgot about that one... you sure it doesn't already have all the wood it needs to be built or it's placed on pause via the planning mode/ manual pause via the building interface ?

nope noting is there.. AND the farm is not build AFTER 16 days and... i checked no building is paused ./// i made sure that "planning mode is not "orange" ie on."

I'm asking because I DID encounter an issue yesterday... I had the imports selection on my smelters set to "on" but one of those wasn't actually reachable anymore in time.
What happened was that some of my trucks that got loaded with iron picked THAT smelter as a destination (even though it was connected to a iron ore SILO too) and they refused to deliver the ore to a silo instead so all of my iron ore trucks ended up in a permanently "cannot reach destination"... When I swapped the input for that smelter from on to auto (didn't help) to off THEN they decided to pick the hopper (which was empty te entire time)

Have you checked your trucks can actually reach the construction sites? Trucks have reach for some 2 or 3 cells but eventually even planned buildings will block pathing and cause horrible clogs...

Right... checked the trucks.... ... then DARN... it seems that the new buildings were on "pause" for some reason... Maybe I turned planning mode on,, then off.. or something....

would it be possible to have "paused building" marked somehow OR did i miss this...


Sorry for the trouble.... Ill just have to look closer... AND thanks for your quick response.

Maybe it is relevant to mention that there are two pauses - for building the structure and for the structure to work (after it's built). And both those pauses are available as soon as you place the order to build the structure.
From what i understand graphically there is a blue pause icon on the building (which is the pause for construction) and an orange one (which is for pausing the work in the building after it is finished).

Thanks for that... a trap for new players.... LOL
